We had another huge crowd in on Tuesday night, as 21 teams took part in Trivia night. It was a pleasure to see Kelly and Lindsey, who do comedy every other Monday in Professor Thom's Loft (and are doing a special benefit there on Friday night). And I also met fellow Red Sox blogger Derek Hixon, who has the great Sawxblog.com, and came down from Boston for Trivia and the Sox game.
It was a close night for the first three rounds, but the team of I Need My Astronaut Husband to Retire Like I Need a Hole In My Head pulled away with the win by 11 points with 52, after having a perfect IQ round. They also booed all night, as the team name turned a lot of folks off, but we gave them Best Team Name anyway.
Second place went to I'm Trying To Watch The Royals Game with 41 points, and third went to Three's Company, Too with 39.
